Value Statement
How do you manage investment risk? Hopefully not alone

The Rogers Group of RBC Wealth Management offers investment advisory and discretionary fee-based portfolio management services to risk-averse clients seeking total return. Our goal is to provide above-average income. With experience, education and training in fiduciary issues, our clients are foundations, retirement plans, LOSAP and individuals oriented like us.

Utilizing various internal and external independent research sources, we develop a broad economic view of the world. Based on that view, we manage conservative income-oriented portfolios with a disciplined risk management approach. When warranted, we anchor portfolios using laddered bonds to help provide stability and current and future projected cash flow needs. The substantial variety and volume of bonds available provides an array of opportunities for experienced proactive managers to earn current income and achieve capital gains. We seek growth by actively allocating investments between widely diversified global asset classes, seeking value opportunities, utilizing mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETF’s) and closed end funds.

Investment Methodology

Dave Rogers has been certified as an Accredited Investment Fiduciary® through the Center for Fiduciary Studies. The Center for Fiduciary Studies promulgates best practices and standards for fiduciaries and for those of us who service and share in fulfilling fiduciary obligations. These standards are applied across any client situation. As an AIF, Dave has the training necessary to ensure that an investment process is managed to an appropriate standard of care. His four-step process involves:

• Gather/organize information
• Formalize the process which includes asset allocation modeling, setting return targets and risk parameters which results in an Investment Policy Statement (IPS)
• Evaluate and select investments appropriate to the IPS
• Monitor client progress
